Atlas Gym [Thursday, omigod early o'clock]

Anakin had gotten used to catching catnaps between Juliet's feedings--it wasn't much different than life in the Clone Wars.

Yes, he was mentally comparing life with a newborn to a war. He wouldn't be sharing that with Rory, no.

So he was waiting in the gym, lighsaber hilt in his right hand, asleep standing up as he killed time before Ben arrived.

Ben trotted into the gym a few moments later. "Morning," he said, nodding carefully. "How's the baby?"

Ben didn't reply "me too." He was up to almost four hours these days. "If you're too tired to do this," he said instead, eyes sparkling with challenge.

Ben grinned, dropped his cloak into a completely overdramatic puddle of cloth on the floor behind him, then launched immediately into a flying jump at his grandfather.

He didn't think he had a shot in hell, but he might as well look interesting before he got schooled.

Ben's lightsaber flashed down smoothly to intercept, and he pushed against the hilt, trying to get Anakin to step back.

"I was ready," he replied.

Karla slipped in, eager to watch the fight. She was also trying hard not to grin, thinking of some of the conversations she'd had with Ben about his grandfather. Her irreverent expression was at odds with her wardrobe choice. Even though this was simply a practice, she'd decided to treat it as if it were a tournement.

It was a subtle gesture of respect towards Ben, not that she'd ever admit it aloud. A moderately uncomfortable gesture. Mother Night, she couldn't wait to change.

"Greetings again, my Lord," she said, dropping a curtsey to Anakin. It was as precise and exact as her mother's Steward could have asked, for a Warlord Prince of a Dark Jewel rank who was also an instructor. "My warmest congratulations on the birth of" she snuck a glance at Ben, "your daughter. I hope she and your ladywife are well."

"Ben," she added, giving him a nod. She dimpled at him. "Good luck." The 'you'll need it' went unstated.

"My thanks, my Lord." Karla replied, just as gravely.

She'd 'my Lord' him to Hell and back before she'd ever say 'Master.'

"As you will, Professor," she said. "'My Lord' is simply the custom of my people. I'd meant no offense."

She'd seen the jaw clench.

"In Kaeleer, it is offered more as a gesture of respect, than as acknowledgement of birth," she explained, "but I will refrain if you prefer."

She dropped her more formal mode of address to add, "Because pissing you off is a rather lousy way of trying to show you respect, huh?" The corners of her mouth quirked a bit.

Ender didn't normally have a lot of interest in what Ben got up to while he was fighting. But after the strangeness of last week, it seemed like a good time to come in and make an appearance and laugh at his friend once he got himself beaten up: banter things, social tricks. He'd already been up for several hours by the time he arrived, but that didn't mean much.

He did stick to the wall - being too up and front about it would just make Ben think he'd lost it.

Ben's entire face lit up when he saw Ender and he gave him a quick grin and a wave.

Ender nodded back at him, and lifted one eyebrow. His mouth did quirk with a little bit of a smile at the enthusiasm.

Karla sidled over to Ender. "Kiss kiss," she greeted. "Come to see the lightsabers? Or watched Ben get trounced?" She paused, weighing him. "Actually, you're a multitasker. Both, right?"

"Both," Ender agreed, shooting her an amused look. It was a lie; he was here mostly for a third thing, but that didn't mean he couldn't show some appreciation for the latter half of her assumptions. "He doesn't spend enough time face-down in the mud."

"And he did laugh at you remorselessly for the glitter shower," Karla pointed out with a grin. Of course, she had too, but she saw no reason to mention that. "Have you watched them before?"

"I think I'm made of sturdy enough stuff to stand him laughing at me," Ender replied. "Especially since I can still probably beat him at chess, and I've seen one too many of his gremlin bites."

He stole another look at them both. "No."

"I don't know about you, but I'm impressed," she said, watching the flash of their lightsabers. "They are very fast, but very sure." Anakin was clearly the better of the two, but Ben seemed to be doing fairly well.
